Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires you to provide no personal information, and gives you many benefits, including:

- The ability to view all your contributions via a "Pages I worked on" link
- Your own user page
- Your own talk page which, if you choose, also allows users to send you messages without knowing your e-mail address
- The use of your own personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you
- The ability to move/rename pages
- The ability to customize the appearance and behaviour of the website
- The eligibility to become an Administrator or Sysop (can delete and undelete pages, protect them from being edited, edit protected pages, and block users for violation of our policies)
- The right to be heard in formal votes and elections, and on pages like requests for deletion

Before you do, I congratulate you for the excellent work on the ancient history page! I haven't seen such good pages here in a long while.
For that, I'll give you a barnstar--the first of its kind on SIMPLE Wikipedia! At least you're one lucky guy! --Slgrandson 17:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
